We are quite happy with John Lynn's Black Belt Academy and we highly recommend them. Their team is dedicated and professional, offering lessons that are meticulously structured and planned, but also fun with inputs from the kids. We like the structured lessons as it ensures consistent growth and development, and that they are always active and developing a healthy routine. Our kids not only enjoy their lessons but also learning about character building, discipline, and focus.

I joined the Academy in 2021 after seeing adverts popping up on Facebook offering a free karate trial. I'd always wanted to learn a martial art so at the age of 48 I took the plunge and signed up. From the first phone call I felt welcome - that any questions I had would be answered and any fears I had quickly melted away. I was worried I wouldn't be flexible or fit enough but the only expectation in class was that I try hard and give my best. Everyone is treated as an individual - the Academy Senseis genuinely want to help you achieve your goals and have amazing ways of explaining techniques to help you to improve.Nothing is too much trouble for the instructor and leadership team - help is always available, guidance, feedback and encouragement is delivered gently and respectfully. I look forward to every session - the group are all friendly and approachable and there's always a warm welcome when I walk through the door. Classes are varied and disciplined but lots of fun.In the last 2 years or so I have become fitter and more flexible, more confident and focussed, made new friends and am a happier and healthier human as a result. I can't recommend the Academy highly enough - if you've ever been interested in trying a martial art - get in touch and give it a go! My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner!

My son & daughter have been attending now for just shy of 1 year. The difference in their confidence and concentration is very noticeable. Mark & Olivia are very respectful and kind people with a great motivation for helping children develop all aspects of their mental and physical well being.I would highly recommend this program to all my family and friends and anyone else thinking of giving it a go.

My son has been at the Academy for 1 year and it has helped him enormously. From the minute they enter, respect is shown and taught, and all the things they do there are so enjoyable for the kids. He comes out happy and buzzing every time. I'm in awe actually, it's a very impressive set up, they know what they're doing, and they do it very well. Sometimes with your kids you find yourself in a difficult position and you seek out someone who can help, and I'm forever grateful to have found that at John Lynn's. If you need help with child's confidence, bullying issues, focus etc then I'd highly recommended giving karate here a try.

My daughter has been training around 5 years, nothing is ever too much trouble, wonderful helpful instructors who take the time to teach and guide their students to achieve their next belts. She has gained in confidence and focus since starting karate, also made some great friends.

Having previously tried many Gym?s to keep myself fit and active all which have proved to be fruitless, I accidentally stumbled across John Lynn Blackbelt Academy based in Colwyn Bay - Being an older (65) lady I was a little apprehensive but thought I should give it a go, after all the first four lessons were free, so thought what have I got to lose. I am so glad I did, from the first phone call and right through to this present day my journey has a been awesome. excellent standards, full support from our Sensei?s, lots of encouragement and so much knowledge being shared with us as a group. Nothing is too much trouble for our sensei?s they have the time and a vast amount of knowledge and commitment for anyone or us, as a group or individually. Classes a disciplined but great fun too - The standard of this Academy is beyond words, and so very professional. I am so pleased I started here, . I feel I have come so far in such a small space of time, always given the support if needed - onwards to achieving my Black Belt by the time I am 70 and I am going to savour every second. This Academy is an amazing place to be for young and old, so if you are reading this post, I ask, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START YOUR JOURNEY - look forward to meeting you all there - Frenchi ???

An excellent Karate set-up. A well run, dynamic karate school with dedicated premises (and plenty of equipment like freestanding punchbags, pads & walled mirrors). The instructors are great at leading the class, but also offer 1-1 teaching and encouragement. The other members of the class are welcoming and friendly, and overall, it combines self-defence, mobility, fitness and a sense of achievement. I?m so glad I decided to join.

I've been at John Lynn's for around 7 weeks now, my aim was to improve my flexibility, within my time I have also improved my fitness and health, I've lost just under a stone in weight and have toned up a lot, the team are very approachable and extremely professional in what they do. Thank you for the warm welcome in to the world of kickboxing.
